Chinese / 12380

A compact Chinese wool rug whose field reads as a wash of softened pinks and neutrals threaded with red accents. Five simple floral medallions sit inside neutral cartouches across a striated, painterly ground. At 2' 0" x 4' 0", the piece carries medium distress and a tactile, worn surface that highlights abrash and time-worn colour shifts. This antique rug balances folk geometry and painterly striping; the motifs remain clear but gently faded, suggesting frequent use and careful wear. Circa 1925 - 1945. The result is a quietly expressive, heritage-aware textile with an intimate scale and palpable texture.
